25 years ago, the highly-respectable manufacture?Jaeger-LeCoultre innovated not with a new complication or a new material, but by implementing the “1000 Hours Control” procedure, an in-house certification comprising a series of radical tests to ensure that the watches are reliable and precise. As a tribute to this anniversary,?Jaeger-LeCoultre has created an entire new collection of?Master Control models, with stunning sector dials. Today on Monochrome, we take a look at these 3 watches: the?Master Chronograph, the?Master Geographic and the Master Control Date (and just wait till you see the prices…)The look of the new?Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control CollectionA watch is a movement, a pedigree, a name but mainly, it is a design (who wants to wear a badly designed watch anyway…) This is where?Jaeger-LeCoultre wins?big with the new?Master Control Collection.
